Ebonheart Kennel

Puppies & Breeding

Purposefully raised companions, supported for life.

More than a puppy, a lifetime connection.

Every Ebonheart puppy begins with purposeful socialization, enrichment, early potty routines, foundational manners, and a careful match to the right home. Your puppy comes with a written health guarantee, current vaccinations, deworming, a veterinary check, and a microchip.

Unlimited training support comes home with every puppy.

Every Ebonheart puppy includes unlimited training classes for families who can attend in person, plus ongoing training support for life. Families who live farther away can continue to reach out for remote guidance and recommendations. We stay invested in each puppy and family long after go-home day.

Our requirement for every pet puppy home

Preserving naturally occurring reproductive hormones throughout maturation is central to our placement policy.

This is a required condition of placement. The resources below examine sterilization timing, physical development, and associated health outcomes.
